First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros

For
today's First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intro, I'm featuring a
book I plan to begin today for the RIP VII Challenge. I know several of my readers have read this one and enjoyed it so I ready to experience it for myself.

Feel
free to join in by posting the opening paragraph (sometimes maybe a few
) of a book you decided to read based on the opening paragraph (s).
Grab the banner and play along.

THE GRIPPING STORY OF THE UNRAVELING OF ONE MAN'S SEEMINGLY PERFECT LIFE, AND HIS STRUGGLE TO GET EVERYTHING BACK.

------------------------------------------------------

"There's a staccato clicking sound in my head. Like a troupe of tiny, uncoordinated tap dancers performing on my brain.

The choppy, aggravating CLICK-clack_CLICK is interrupted when Eddie says: 'Fist I'ma find that fucker Manny and I'ma grab him by his greasy hair and BASH BASH BASH his fuckin' head against the sidewalk till I can feel his squishy brains oozing through my fingers...then I'm thinking Burger King."

Eddie's crazy.

I look at him bewildered and cautious. "Huh?""You assed me what I'm up to today, Doc."

With violence and thoughts like this I would be interested to see how he goes about his recovery. I enjoy reading about people overcoming challenges (sometimes even just overcoming themselves). Humans can be such complicated creatures . . .

I'm not sure. I've read some reviews of this book that were good and a lot of bloggers liked this book. I'd probably read it for a number of pages and see whether I liked it or not. I'm interested to read your thoughts on it. I hope you enjoy it, Diane!

not a book I would read, I really only read paranormal books anymore, some dystopian too.Here is mine, it's at the bottom (teasers for 2 others first), has the whole 1st chapter, as its a great book, and link to the first 3 chapters that can be read free at authors site, I like this book so much, i had a book hangover, lol, didn't want to get into another book, but had too. come see what I am talking about, :) Tuesday Teaser and Intros

Wow. That dialogue is very genuine. It isn't my kind of book, but I admire an author who can capture a dialect like that. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post here yesterday. I left for work early and never made it back to my computer. Here's Mine

I have to say that I don't think that this is a book I would pick up off the shelves in the shop, however, if it was sent to me for review, I would undoubtedly give it a try.

I have reviewed a couple of books with similarly difficult themes and have actually found them quite enlightening. I also have a review on the go right now, that I haven't a clue how to tackle, as the subject matter was so 'off the wall'.

It is good to feel out your depth occasionally and have to put some hard thought into a book, although it is not something I could handle on a regular basis.
